Synopsis

Curses and Cons. Magic and the Mob.

Cassel always thought he was an ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were being manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth—he’s the most powerful curse worker around. A touch of his hand can transform anything—or anyone—into something else. That was how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Cassel was tricked into thinking he killed her, when actually he tried to save her. Now that she’s human again, he should be overjoyed. Trouble is, Lila’s been cursed to love him. And if Lila’s love is as phony as Cassel’s made-up memories, then he can’t believe anything she says or does.

When Cassel’s oldest brother is murdered, the Feds recruit Cassel to help make sense of the only clue—crime-scene images of a woman in red gloves. But the mob is after Cassel too—they know how valuable he could be to them. Cassel is going to have to stay one step ahead of both sides just to survive.

Goodreads review by Miranda on December 10, 2020

Before I start: shout out to my Reading Buddy. He didn't really get the plot but he certainly enjoyed snuggling while I read. Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of criminal Curseworkers.

3.5 fun stars Ok, so for whatever reason, I'm still digging the storytelling. But that's not the same as saying I think this is an excellent story. It's just holding my attention and I want to see how it all plays out. Spoilers for the 1st book below! So, as we now know, the White Cat from book 1 was ac......more

Goodreads review by Emily May on March 30, 2012

Hmm. I'm not sure if it was the high of book one - White Cat - that made this sequel so disappointing but, whatever the reason, I really struggled to get into this one. The story became too involved with many subplots that failed to affect me in any way, stuff like: Sam and Daneca's relationship......more

Goodreads review by Jillian -always aspiring- on July 16, 2015

I've been sitting here for an hour trying to figure out what to say about this book in a review. Last summer, I read White Cat (the book prior to this one) and found myself enthralled by a world of curses, crime, and cons -- and at the center of the book was Cassel, a boy who couldn't decide between......more

Goodreads review by Chelsea ✨Arielle’s Nebular Ally and Team Acrux✨ on March 05, 2015

The smell of Lila's skin, the way her eyes shine with mischief, the low rasp of her voice. It hurts to think of her, but I can't stop. It ought to hurt. After all, hell is supposed to be hot. Hmmm. Well, I just have to say it-If you, for whatever reason, have to put a book on pause and you come ba......more
